time
only 3 computers in classroom - need some creativity in use of hardware
safety issues - in voice thread, cover faces of photographs
some schools cannot take photos of single students - use avatar and code name
parents not understanding - it's new
teachers not understanding - it's new
don't get the importance of learning digital literacy
which tool is the best?
risk taking
get it out there
get 1-2 teachers to take the risk
needs to come from a teacher
PD should come from the teacher that has used it in the classroom
welcome the risk, don't demand it
how do you present it in a non-overwhemling way?
how do you grow it for benefits of teachers and students?
need to find the need and then it works
teaching use and teaching use in curriculum are two different things
what's working?
distance learning - buddy up teachers or classrooms
tied to a project
voice thread - easy way to use technology - and excites students, takes ownership!!!
voice thread for definitions, vocab, poetry
find people that are comfortable doing it and then share
or go into the classroom and help teacher/students see the possibilities
Photo Show - in primary classroom http://del.icio.us
people with low tech are seeing the possibilities for the future
